Just blew the engine on my 96 SS and looking for crate engines. I know the GM LT1 Enigines are like impossible to find and over priced. I have found an engine at www.golenengineservice.com that is a 383 lt1 stroker that puts out 480hp for $5,600 if any1 can point me to a place with a better motor (same or more power) and same price or cheaper let me know.

 

i have a entire lt1 with EVERYTHING that connects to the engine for sale, $1200 negotiable


63k miles, superb condition


pm me if your interested


i also have have a built tranny and a t/c and other things new/400miles for sale

 

That 383 is sweet. If you got the cash, go for it.

 

I would check out combination motorsports www.cmotorsports.com talk to dave he is an awesome person to work with hell any of them are good guys to work with and they are also a sponsor on the board

they have some pretty good combos for the money
Im going with them when its new motor time for me

a local is selling his 383 lt4 with heads and everythign for 6500 cdn.

http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...hreadid=155702

the guys well known locally so i think most will vouch for him.

but whats your power goals and budget? i would just rebuild.

 

i think that 480 hp is probably flywheel hp.

 

i'm sure that is probably hp at flywheel, but is still pretty powerfull for the price and good for a daily driver still i just want 11's

 

does that engine i talked about at first seem worth the money? and with all the bolt on's in my signature pluse got a drag launch eibach kit what would be a good estimated time.

Current Mods:
Pro 5.0 Shifter, Programmed PCM, Pulleys, BBK Throttle Body, Granetelli Mass Airflow Sensor, MSD Wires, Iridium plugs, MSD Coil, Injectors, MAC Headers, off road Y-pipe, Cut outs, drag launch kit.

 

well what are your goals really? then we can go from there

 

Those combination motorsports motors look alot better than that other one, I doesnt even have forged pistons.....And it doesnt include the intake so the heads wont be port matched to the intake...

If you got the money go for the Pro street 396 thats a setup that will take 800 ponies. And youd probibly only need a 250 sot to get it there. lots of fun there. 9's =P

or if you are on a tight budget the street stroker 383 with stage 2 heads is about the same as my motor, almost exactly. only I Paid about 5,000 and thats doing everything myself...

 

Why is it that no one ever asks how someone "blew" their engine

 

yeah, how did you blow the engine?

 

What broke on it? If it is something simple I say build it.

 

got a built 355 here in houston, trw forged flat tops, 200$ nitrous
rings, stock shoppend and polished rods, nodular iron crank.

less than 500 miles on it, and over 500$ worth of work at machine shop(honing,all new bearings everywhere and arp rod bolts.

pm me if interested
